Name: Asuka Mizubara (Or Kasumi Mizubara)Age: 24Trainer Class: Gym LeaderLikes Surfing! OH Surfing! She's like a fish though.. she loves being in the water. The water is embracing, and warm like a hug. not just a hug, it's an embrace from the entire planet. It's also pretty much silent out there.. even during storms. If she's shouting then it's a song of the storms. When the Ocean rages at you, she's really just trying to ask you something... and Asuka doesn't speak Storm.. but she's learning.

Dislikes Pomegranates. FUCK Pomegranates. Pomegranates. They're messy, impossible to eat with dignity. SO much work for a few small seeds. She just... does not like Pomegranates. She hates the way they taste too.

Alcohol. She doesn't drink, and she really doesn't like people who do drink, because liquor brings out the reality in people. People are good because they have empath and sympathy.. when you're under the influence you lose all that.. and you're a wicked violent person. All in all, she doesn't like alcohol.

Ghosts. She has never gotten over her fear of ghost pokemon, due to her own little superstition. She always believed that ghost pokemon were just the spirits of old pokemon who couldn't find peace. They were vengeful.. scary fucks who gave you nightmares and turned invisible. She won't show said fear in person, but if she really dwells on the thought then it will tear her apart when she finally gets alone.

Appearance: Asuka dresses like a sensible teenage girl. She's not overbearing on how she looks and quite frankly she'd show up every day in a thick turtleneck and sweatpants. Now that she's a leader, with a blocked memory of her past, she dresses sensibly. Blouses, pants, dresses. She even ties her hair back and wears glasses. When she's not in her office she's a bit more liberal. Skirts, V Necks, converses... she dresses like a regular teenager.

When she's away from the big box with the orange roof, Asuka couldn't care less about how people perceive her, she knows that she looks good. During the day she'll wear Deep V's, short skirts.. she used to like it when the boys and girls stared, but she usually holds it together for her job. However when she's ever in a good mood? it's over. Day or Night she dresses to impress and by god she looks good doing it. Honestly she'd prefer to walk around without anything on... but in todays society you look good with what you have on... not how you look beneath it all. Asuka know who she is and she usually uses that to her advantage. Asuka has a small black birthmark under her left eye in the shape of a heart. It's a bit cheesy.. but it's her signature.

Personality: Asuka is a quiet secluded individual, keeping to herself, she prefers to be left alone. She also prefers not to leave the beach as it is her safe haven. She can normally be found in the water, or in the underwater caves, conversing with the pokemon. The ocean drowns out the world around her and keeps her cut off from most. If she's ever approached by someone then she will pretend to be a normal helpful human being, however that doesn't really last for long, as she will try to excuse herself from the conversation early. The only person she can say that she honestly cares about is her little brother. She will show him all of her love unconditionally. She has never once spurned him, or sent him away, or even showed him much of her depressed side, hoping to keep him out of that side of her.

Asuka was thankful to her Foster Parents for keeping her out of prison; she wasn’t as appreciative as the others. Though when they died, she was shaken. Even more secluded than before, anyone that once knew her would have probably forgotten her and she couldn’t have wanted it any other way. While she hadn’t been that close to them in life, in death She felt that she was finally done with most relationships. The once childish and rambunctious kid was now the quiet, timid, passive girl in the corner of a room with the sad eyes and the humble attitude.

When it comes down to battle she's not a fan. She doesn't train her pokemon to fight, she trains them to enjoy the environment. She helps them to enjoy the surf, and be good at what they enjoy, whether it be shooting or swimming, or even if they want... battling. If she's ever wrangled into a fight then she spends time wearing her opponent out. Water is patient. Water just waits. Wears down the cliff tops, the mountains. The whole of the world. Water always wins.

Step Into My Life

History: Originally, Asuka was a human. She was a little girl born to Jack Immlet and Miervaldis Washington the CEO's of a major subsidiary of Silph CO, making her the wealthiest little girl in the region. However, Daddy Dearest always wanted more then he could have.

Using his extensive connections and obscene amount of money he decided to groom his child for success, to create a dynasty with a little help.. from the underground. A globe expanding monarchy of victory... in the Immlet name. His wife and Unborn child went through numerous procedures and operations to be what Jack wanted. Gene Therapy to change how the child looked? Check. Genetic Mutation to improve the childs immune system and respiratory? Check. It was going to be flawless! She would buy out all of the major companies in The Region, from water to steel, to the car corporations to the fast food organizations. Everything would be under her thumb to the point where the whole place would be renamed after her and although his wife shared with his enthusiasm for a better world her body could not keep up and she was forced to retire from this world.

Although Jack would NOT be swayed from his goal of domination, all the money he had invested in this would NOT go to waste due to something as foolish as death. So he turned to the worlds best scientists... there had to be a way to keep his child without his wife. He found a way, in something called the Xena Virus. The Virus enters, re-purposes and changes the cell. The new cell replicates with formerly dormant non-encoding regions active, causing drastic biological changes. After infection, the virus "plugs in" and activates the junk DNA in a target, causing biological changes that create (and recreate) a sentient mind inside the infected creature. It acts by affecting the protein encoding regions of the promoter introns in each cell. As a retrovirus, it contains both RNA and the reverse transcriptase enzyme, allowing it to insert its own genetic codes into living cells. It enters, re-purposes and changes the cell, replicating previously dormant non-coding segments of DNA. The virus grew to be a sentient being, that Jack dubbed 'Asuka', used to replace his daughter. The 'daughter' was monitored closely by a team of psychics and guards to make sure it stayed in line however she never stepped out of line, she was raised as a regular little girl and she knew no better. She was happy and content being daddy's little special girl. It was all fine and dandy... until Team Galactic came to town. They laid short work to the staff and workers, and when the dust was settled.. Asuka was all that was left.

Asuka's trainer origins begin with a Team Galactic splinter cell, which went by the name of the "Bird of Passage." Aside from her training as a trainer, very little is known about her history. She was raised exclusively as a courtesan, as the Bird of Passage specialized in forming contracts with powerful people of prestige and dispatching 'bellywarmers' to keep high society targets warm and in good hands, however she was also growing into battling. She didn't know what it was at first... but soon enough she had marks falling in love with her... marks going deeply insane with rage. Eventually... she had a man killed. The Bird of Passage eventually took their courtesans... and began training them as trainers too, though with less honorable standards then one would hope. Double the money for half the training. Asuka was forced into this wave as a child and began killing at a very young age. Due to her upbringing, she became conflicted. Not only was she being toyed with on a nightly basis by old men.. she was being forced to end lives. They told her that in time she would overcome her feelings, they told her that is was in fact her fault that she was becoming a murdering temptress. It was her skills, her 'abilities' her curse, and she had no one to bear it with. Officials would say that she was slowly developing a psychosis, DID, was what they called it. They'd be right of course but that's not why we're here. We're here to discuss the fact that a 13 year old girl was being forced on her hands and knees everynight, and taken like some cheap whore. She had problems, of course she had problems... but by the time she made her way from Kanto back to the base, she was split in two.

She needed help, of course she needed help but who could she even ask for help in a world that used her body for sex, money and murder. She didn't know what to do and be it divine happenstance or a combination of her powers and desire she managed to form a mirror. A crystalline mirror inside her mind that didn't just show what she was.. but what she desired to be. In the mirror she chose to change who and what she was. On the inside and out. She became a woman. A tall and beautiful woman, one that would look good for what she did and that would feel great about what she did. She created a doll that could be her mannequin in times of need. Not only did she give the doll a name but she gave the doll thoughts and feelings. She gave the doll a name and a voice. Both of which she could use for flirting, murdering, deceiving and protecting. Kasumi took on the form of an older sister to Asuka, only wanting to take away her pain, however in time the needs of her creator became second nature to her own. She had become so enthralled in doing what she was created to do that she stopped shielding Asuka from it.

She would leave the link between the two completely open whenever she was doing her duties, she scarred and damaged the child more then her job ever did. Eventually however, a glimmer of hope arose in her mind. She realized the pain she was putting her other half through and decided to help her out. Reaching into the mind of her supportive spirit she managed to clear her mind of the dark thoughts. She removed the dark feelings and the bad thoughts and put Asuka into a soft stasis. She didn't know her own strength and while her intentions were good she might've been a bit too overzealous with her liberating of Asuka's mind. She reverted her not only in thoughts and theories but in time as well. It took up a considerable amount of her power as well. Both women went into a sleep for a long time. Asuka was the first awake and while she had no recollection of what happened, she did know something had, as she could hear her.

She could hear her, like a Siren deep in the ocean of her subconscious. A voice singing a sad lonely song to her. She couldn't help but listen... alarms were going off in her mind.. a cacophony of warning sounds and shrieks but she had to listen. She dove into the waters and made her way towards the sound but when she came up to the melodic tones of the angel in her dreams, she learned the true meaning of snake in paradise.The woman was smart, she had all the answers almost like a mother comforting a wounded child. She promised to take all the pain away and as she held the sad child against her chest she did indeed, take the pain away. Almost like a stunt double she took Asuka's place both in spirit and in form. She whipped away the body of the scared little girl and replaced it with one of experience, of glamor and of taste. She spent 4 weeks under the waves, 4 weeks watching her body and trying to understand the feelings that had overcome her. Eventually she found her way above the breaking waves and managed to wrestle the woman to the ground. It was an hour before the two of them got things set straight. an hour that seemed to stretch on for years. When the moon rose over their argument and Asuka was brought back to what was going on with her body. She was in an Orphanage. She was informed that the people she had been found with were killed and she was the only survivor.

It took her many a year before she was actually adopted but when she was, she felt something of an odd relief. Although she struggled to adapt to an "average" life, Asuka ruminated on the new freedoms that were provided, and decided that this new life could be acceptable. However, her peaceful new existence didn't last for long, as, after 'she' was scolded for releasing the youngest daughter's pet bird, 'she' murdered her entire adoptive family in a blind rage. It wasn't her fault of course, Kasumi had grown tired of the mundane and the normal and so she tried to force her hand. Asuka ran from the house and ran away from it all, focusing on solitude and mastering her abilities. She found her way to psychiatrist after psychiatrist and they all found nothing wrong with her. As hard as she tried to couldn't force Kasumi to the surface if her life depended on it. Hiela popped up on her scope and she eventually found her way to her new island. She evicted the old gym leader, taking special care to explain her situation to him and his family. Where they are now she couldn't care less, but it's her gym and it's her city.. and both of them are doing just fine.
